Where Does AYN Odin Store ROMs and Saves?
AYN Odin runs Android, so ROMs live on internal storage or microSD with per-emulator save folders per app.
Last updated
AYN Odin devices run Android, so storage splits the same way as other Android handhelds. ROMs and BIOS files sit on internal storage or the microSD card. Emulator saves live in per-app folders, different for RetroArch, Dolphin and AetherSX2.
Keep a Games tree on the card with roms, saves and states separated. Point each emulator at the card so progress stays visible. Copy the tree plus internal emulator folders before factory resets, since wiping the device spares the card but clears app data.
Where AYN Odin stores this, by platform
/storage/XXXX-XXXX/Games/roms and emulator save folders (microSD or internal)
ROMs in Games/roms per system on SD or internal. RetroArch saves in its saves folder, Dolphin in dolphin-emu, AetherSX2 in memcards. Keep portable storage for PC transfers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up an AYN Odin?
Copy the ROM tree from internal storage or SD to your PC, plus per-emulator save folders like RetroArch saves and states. SD holds the library. Internal app folders hold configs that never move on their own.
Internal storage or SD card for ROMs?
Use portable storage so the card reads in a PC reader. Internal storage suits apps and frequent games. SD suits the full library and save backups. Pick one layout and keep it.
